ALBUM WITH DETACHABLE PICTORIAL POST-CARDS.

SPECIFICATION formingpart of Letters Patent N 0, 632,788, datedSeptember 12, 1899.

Application filed July 11, 1899. Serial No. 723/151. (No model.)

To all whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, J ACOB PHILIPP, director of the company Gesellschaftfiir Graphische Industrie, of No. 7 Barnabitengasse, Vienna, VI,Austria-Hungary, have invented certain new and useful Improvements inAlbums with Detachable Pictorial Post-Cards, of which the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to a construction of album containing detachablepictorial postcards with views of different localities and objects ofinterest that are located along a certain line of railway or line ofsteamers, so that on arriving at a certain station the owner of thealbum can readily detach a post-card with the corresponding view andafter writing thereon post it. The album serves at the same time as apictorial guide-book for the journey. The album contains in addition tothe detachable post-cards non-detachable cards or pages also bearingpictorial representations of the said localities and serving as asouvenir.

This album is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in a perspectiveview.

The cover 1 contains a number of post-cards 2, with views of differentlocalities and objects of a certain line of railway or line ofsteamers-for instance, New York to Chicago in regular series. Everypost-card is separately detachable. According to the drawin g every cardis perforated on the inner edge at 3, which allows every card to beseparately detached and posted. This combination of the post-cardsavoids the frequent buying of pictorial post-cards in the differentstations of a certain line. At the same time the album serves as a guidefor the difierent stations, &c.

As it may be desirous to bring home a sonvenir of the journey, the albumcontains nondetachable cards or pages 4, also bearing pictorialrepresentations of the same localities, consisting of thinner paper andmay be combined with advertisements.

Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my saidinvention and in what manner the same is to be performed, I declare thatwhat I claim is An album characterized by the combination of a series ofseparately-detachable post-cards with pictorial views of a certain lineof railway or line of steamers and non-detachable cards or pages withthe same representations to serve as a souvenir, which pages may becombined with advertisements, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in presence of twosubscribing wit- JACOB PHILIPP. WVitnesses:
